Truck inventory replenishment overviewLast updated on 10/28/2022
ServiceTitan helps you restock your inventory and keep track of materials being used on each truck. You can easily prepare and send POs to vendors and even track PO fulfillment. Here are some of the highlights of truck replenishment features.
Set up your truck list in ServiceTitan, and assign each technician to a truck
First, set up your trucks in ServiceTitan (Settings > Inventory > Trucks & Warehouses). Then, make sure each technician is assigned to a truck (Settings > Technicians). For more, see Set up your truck list in ServiceTitan.
Create a vendor list for all your inventory
You can enter multiple vendors for each material item in your pricebook (Pricebook > Materials). You can enter pricing, part numbers, and an optional memo for each vendor. On your vendor list, you can designate the primary vendor to be used for inventory replenishment.
You can setup multiple vendors for each material item and designate the primary vendor to be used for inventory replenishment. For more, see Set up your replenishment vendors.
Note: Only the primary vendor is required.
Use truck replenishment to prepare and send out replenishment POs
As technicians use materials on invoices, these items automatically appear under the Materials Used tab in Truck Replenishment. Use the Materials Used list to prepare POs.
The primary vendor is used by default (you can always change the vendor if necessary).
You can make any necessary adjustments to POs, such as changing the price or quantity, before you send them out.
If you don’t want to restock an item at this time, simply mark it as Do not replenish.

Organize POs by vendor or by truck
When you generate POs, you can choose to create one PO per vendor, or you can create POs per truck to help keep inventory organized. You can then download POs, or you can email POs to vendors directly from ServiceTitan.

Track the status of POs
You can see the status of every PO (Pending, Sent, or Received).

Track PO fulfillment
You can see the fulfillment status of all POs sent to vendors. You can mark individual items as received, or mark an entire PO as shipment received.
For more, see Truck inventory replenishment workflows.
After a PO is fully received, accounting can export the PO to QuickBooks
As soon as a replenishment PO is marked as fully received, accounting can see the PO on the main Invoice screen. Accounting can proceed to batch, post, and export POs to QuickBooks.
